2024 Natalie Miller Fellowship Catalyst Grants

Launching last year as an expansion to the NMF’s annual $20,000 Fellowship Grant, the $5,000 Catalyst Grants are open to five female and female-identifying applicants in the Australian screen industry to take the next step to fulfil their leadership ambitions.

Applicants from all backgrounds across Australia are encouraged to apply. To be eligible, applicants must have at least three years’ professional experience in the Australian film industry (including formal unpaid internships) and cannot be enrolled full or part-time in an undergraduate program.

NMF President Sasha Close said: “The Natalie Miller Fellowship is delighted to announce Catalyst Grants for 2024 are open. The inaugural year in 2023 drew a diverse and impressive range of applicants from across the Australian screen industry with successful recipients undertaking bold professional and personal development proposals.”

Applications open today, Monday 25 March, and close at 5pm (AEST) on Monday 6 May 2024, with applicants notified of the results by no later than Monday 17 June 2024.

The NMF Catalyst Grants are proudly supported by Creative Partnerships Australia through Plus1 and NMF’s generous Catalyst Campaign donors.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL MILLER FELLOWSHIP

The Natalie Miller Fellowship was established to recognise and nurture the next generation of female leaders in the Australian screen community and inspire them to reach the very top of their fields. By urging more women to take on positions of leadership – roles that allow them to make a real difference – we not only address the gender imbalance that’s still evident at the top, we drive better company performances and greater innovation. And that means a more dynamic, diverse and robust screen industry for everyone.
